AYREON mastermind Arjen Lucassen's site has been updated with the following news on his new project, GUILT MACHINE:

"We're happy to finally announce the European release dates and details of the forthcoming album from Arjen's new project, Guilt Machine! The album, titled On This Perfect Day, will be released by Mascot records on the following dates:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland: August 28th

Europe: August 31st

USA: Date still pending

The art for the cover (pictured on the left) and booklet was created by Christophe Dessaigne, a talented new artist whom we discovered (quite by chance) while browsing Flickr. Coincidentally, it turned out that Chris is an Ayreon fan, and was thrilled beyond belief when we asked him to do the artwork. The Guilt Machine logo and packaging layout were created by Thomas Ewerhard.
